I dislike your characterization of people who complain about the amenities here as screaming children. There is nothing whatsoever motherly about the business that Renderosity does, and I am not a child and there is nothing childlike about the many hundreds of dollars I've spent here. They weren't offered as a thank-you for Rendo lovingly allowing me to use their wonderful amenities. The amenities are offered here strictly because they adjunct profit. If the forums and gallery were not offerred as amenities, profits would be lower - ergo, the amenities are offerred and users are encouraged to use them. There's nothing friendly or loving there, it's just cold, calculating business moves.
You may have the perception that Rendo made this policy change to quiet some screaming babies, but to me it is pretty obvious that it's simply a business move. It's unfortunate that Rendo admin staff chose to act like it's not something business related. It clearly isn't in response to "screaming babies" demanding this change, unless those babies are flat, rectangular bits of paper with numbers on them and and have the names of dead presidents.
